They were most common with Renaissance painters, especially those who painted in a religious style.
Triptychs were usually altarpieces in churches and cathedrals, European and elsewhere. One such place with a triptych is Llandaff Cathedral.
Hans Memling painted a religious triptych.
A triptych is also a type of branching on a printed circuit board.
